I'm using OnePlus 9RT 5G running Oxygen OS 11.3 and Android 11. When I was using OnePlus 5T, there was a feature that allowed making the UI in greyscale, the moment certain apps were launched, like Instagram, Youtube, etc.
But now I have to manually switch the greyscale mode instead of it happening automatically. Is that old feature discontinuted or hidden?
If it's hidden, then what's the best 3rd party app that brings back this useful feature?

EDIT2: I'm not, in any way, affiliated with LineageOS (nor am I an official developer). I'm a community member just like you are
Android in general needs a system cleaner. Like CCleaner and others. Something like that would be good.
Change logs should be listed in the system update tool.
The system update tool should show at least a week of older updates as well as the current available updates. For example if I am running cm14.1 12-12-16 and I check for updates it will not show 12-6-16, only newer updates. Some updates contain bugs that may be missed for days. I usually delete old updates because it uses up space on my device with limited space. I updated to the latest cm14.1 two days ago and my data service was broken. The website no longer listed cm updates for me to find and I could not downgrade, I'm running aicp because I couldn't downgrade BC I usually delete updates that are older.

I'll start this discussion by suggesting two things:
substratum theme engine as default (or at least full compatibility with it)
use a PIN or password to unlock Protected Apps (right now you must use a pattern)
Just suggest what would you like to see in Lineage, preferably things that weren't included in CM.

Honestly, I'd prefer if they just use the CM Theme Engine. I already invested in that.

Sidebars, like old AOKP
Scrolling screenshot.
Theme engine since cm 14.1 doesn't have one.
TWRP recovery
Scheduled full backup of LineageOS modified OS settings (Live Display, Battery meter, time settings, WiFi passwords, status bar quick access configs etc) and apps with their data to Google Drive, so the user can wipe the phone or pick up a new one and restore everything from Google Drive.
Okay, I guess I find I'm slowly turning into more and more of a scientist and so I come up with really whacky theories and really whacky ideas of things to try. I'm knowledgeable about security practices, so some things I'd like to see... (I've been on Android 5, so it is possible at least one of these was already added to 7)
Add the ability to make LineageOS demand the device password (or PIN) once per day. Fingerprint readers are handy for quick lock/unlock, but your fingerprints are readily available. If one was to end up in state custody you likely don't want them to access your private data. As such, I'd like the ability for devices to lock once per day and require the password (or PIN) to unlock.
Include some extra support for smart-cards. One neat thing about smart-cards is they're rather more difficult to tamper with than normal data on a phone. If one's phone ended up in the hands of authorities and they really wanted to unlock it, they'd be able to get at the hashes in flash-memory. If the key for encrypting the userdata area was instead stored on a smart-card, they have a great deal more difficulty getting at it.
It would also be interesting to support OpenPGP cards and using a olde phone as an extra layer of security protecting one's PGP keys.
Okay, hopefully not too whacky for you.
The ability to roll back updates, (I know you can always take backups, but those take forever.)
- The old jellybean tablet ui for tablets.
- Assuming it's going back to it's roots as an os for enthusiasts, rather than a mainstream os, I'd like to see trickstermod type settings built in again.
- If means income to support development, I wouldn't be opposed to them following through on the miui business model they flirted with of having a cutting edge theme engine and a proprietary paid theme store.
Some way to disable the root notification icon per app.
Network speed display on the status bar
Double tap to wake!!!! I don't want to use my hardware buttons more than I have to. Cut down on physical wear.

Yeah just like many did with Windows 10. ??
Desired LineageOS features that were not in CM?
1) Samsung's Smart Stay feature
http://www.samsung.com/us/support/answer/ANS00047864/
2) Ambient Display/Moto Active Display feature
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5TyhaOjME5g
3) The ability to increase the size of all icons and text e.g. like in Nova Launcher
4) Lock screen weather animation(e.g. Like in the LG G3)
5) Double tap to wake and sleep, and Knock code
6) "Doze - For Better Battery Life" functionality with a whitelist feature
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.yirgalab.dzzz&hl=en
7) A Package Disabler app feature that can disable any application
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ospolice.packagedisablerpro&hl=en
8) A reliable custom ROM installer that supports a large variety of Android devices
9) Stickers and themes for the native SMS application
10) When you downloaded a new CM ROM upgrade(e.g. a nightly), you had to reboot into TWRP and manually select the ROM file to install it.
LineageOS ROM upgrades should function like regular OTA upgrades do i.e. you download it, choose install, it reboots your phone and
it automatically applies the upgrade(i.e. no hunting down the appropriate zip file)
P.S. The appropriate version of GApps should automatically be installed too if GApps was present before the upgrade!
11) A parallax effect option for any wallpaper(e.g. in the Samsung Galaxy S6)
12) Counters/badges for unread emails, missed voicemails, calls & SMS/MMS messages
13) A native HTML email client(as opposed to plain text). I should be able to click on urls in emails. Phone numbers in emails should
launch the phone dialer
14) A calendar icon that shows the current date on the home screen calendar icon
15) A voicemail-to-text feature
16) A chatheads option for the SMS app
17) A shortcut to install gApps
A superuser more in line with SuperSu, so no apps bork because no "SuperSu" even though device is rooted.
Perhaps phh's SuperUser/ OpenSource SELinux-capable SuperUser?
Since we have someone here from. Nubia, let's get a thread started for features we'd like implemented in future updates. Maybe he can pass along the requests.
Here are mine:
WiFi calling
Being able to set default apps
Better custom launcher support. It's kind off iffy.
Time zone support. My time zone keeps changing. I have to turn airplane more on/off for it to reset. This is on automatic time zone.
Some suggestions to start:
-Assigning apps/actions to finger prints
-Recents menu returning to preferred launcher instead of Nubia one
-ARCore support
-Google Dialer support
-App Cloning
-Auto hide navigation bar and transparency
-App/Screen pinning
@JerryYin
You may want to keep an eye on this thread.
Thanks
- NFC payments
- Update Gamespace to add features like sounds profiles (available on Chinese ROM I think)
- Improve fingerprint and face unlock (has improved with updates, further refinement needed)
- Remove phone is accelerated message when closing background apps
- Solve issue when sound only comes through one speaker when on speaker in some apps e.g. Whatsapp
Hey everyone,
Adding a soft-launch option, in the form of an app-like icon on the screen itself, to bring up the game space would make things more convenient. This would spare the user the need to flick the physical switch every time they want to play games and would offer a software alternative to the hardware switch.
Regards
NFC payments
Notifications on AOD
Install ROM via fastboot mode
Thanks in advance

Didn't know that. Because my previous phone, Samsung S9+ updated to Android 10, still has android beam in NFC and can still share files via NFC. Same with gesture support for 3rd party launcher. Android 10 by default has no support for it, but Samsung's One UI allows 3rd party launcher to use gesture. Hope Nubia could also improvise in some of android 10's shortcomings.

Hi, i found here two threads but both are about rooted device. I'm interested is there any chance to get it without root? Especially no buttons in bottom and screen slides instead of that ?
About the buttons, that is an Android system setting for gestures. Read more here:
Android 10 gestures: Everything you need to know
We go over the Android 10 gestures that are part of the 2019 mobile operating system. One Android 10 gesture helps to launch Assistant.

I use the Lawnchair launcher. It tries to do all that the Pixel launcher does, and more. You'll want the new version 12 alpha 5, which you can get from their Telegram channel, not the old one on the Play Store.
Or install ArrowOS, which includes Lawnchair.
When you enable Dark mode, it doesn't show Individual apps (screenshot 1)
Individual apps list is needed to toggle per apps if you want to exclude some apps (particular app may not display correctly in Dark mode - like gray-on-black or so)
I can enable the Individual app list by long pressing the grayed-out Individual apps text with slightly sliding the finger.
List may immediately disappear but after few tries I have the list (screenshot 2)
It works for me on the stock MIUI 12.5.8 (EEA)
----
Unfortunately, users claim that Individual apps list can be no more be enabled with MIUI 13 (A12) - sad
For me, and i beleive all Lisa phones, there is no problem with dark mode individual apps on 12.5.8.
The problem and the bug is on MIUI 13 (13.0.5). There is no workaround.
Thanks. I found a better solution. Tap and hold the individual apps text and slightly slide right and then without releasing the finger, slide up to scroll down. This will open the app list and it'll stay there as long as you don't scroll back up. All this while I thought it was magisk that caused the issue lol. I'm on MIUI 12.5.5 IN.

Weekly 22.9.21, MIUI 13 - no problem with disabling/enabling Dark mode per individual apps
Hi guys,
I bought a Xiaomi 13 Pro recently for battery life and camera and I'm certainly happy with it! However, coming from an AOSP-ish experience I can't help but feeling very frustrated with the UI/UX of MIUI so far, setting up my new phone, especially:
1. Not being able to use full-frame gestures on third party launchers
2. The app manager cleaning my widget apps when I clean apps forcing them to close and not refresh widgets before I reload the app + reload the widget
3. Having to set up manually lockscreen notifications for every sub category of notifications within each and every app - by default, apps will not show lockscreen notifications and when the general toggle within the notification menu is switched on, I have to go into each notification subcategory to re-confirm my setting of actually having this notification show on the lockscreen in a secondary toggle - is there any way ALL can be selected to show on lockscreen = ON by default?
4. Lockscreen notifications disappearing when I unlock the screen once
5. Some apps just not working at all, like Tiktok (I'll write a different post on it)
6. Unnecessary bloatware I don't need
If you have any workarounds for any of these issues or know how to get something as close as AOSP as possible that would be very much appreciated, as much as I love the hardware of this phone, the software is difficult to manage and I don't want to end up selling the phone!
Thank you so much
